A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Originally starting as a fan-made Resident Evil 2 remake, the developers had to shift gears once they found out Capcom was reworking their own IP. Clearly inspired by earlier survival horror titles, DAYMARE: 1998 is a bit of a retro experience for better and worse. Although there are a few playable characters, each one doesn’t […]
Fledgling Heroes is essentially a Flappy Bird or Jetpack Joyride clone that is level based instead of being an endless runner (although there are endless stages too). Even though there are nearly 100 levels, an over world map, a colorful child-friendly art style, quality animations, and numerous playable birds with their own play style, Fledgling […]
Inspired by classic 2D puzzle platformers such as Solomon’s Key and Boulder Dash, Ghost Sweeper is an inexpensive Flash-style title built around navigating a single screen filled with traps, keys, and collectables. The gimmick is the player has the ability to create blocks out of thin air to reach new heights and potentially trap/stun enemies. […]
Originally released on the 16-bit Sega Genesis thanks to a successful Kickstart campaign, Coffee Crisis has now been ported to PS4 and Nintendo Switch. Playing as a couple of coffee shoppe owners/brewers, the ridiculous story of fighting off invading aliens with coffee related attacks is going for humor but falls flat. Besides fighting aliens, the […]
While not as obscure as Ichidant-R, G-Loc Air Battle is another forgotten Sega arcade game that has been given new life as the latest SEGA AGES title thanks to M2’s dedication. A high-speed aerial combat simulator, the extra features introduced in this Switch download easily stand out. The G-Loc arcade experience is rather unique as […]
You know those light reflecting puzzles found in 3D Zelda titles, the ones where you have to bank beams of light across the room using the mirror shield? Archaica: The Path of Light is essentially that concept but looks like a tower defense title. The player is tasked with moving objects, often mirrors and light […]
Sometimes You is continuing their stretch of releasing simple, quickly played titles that yield a decent amount of entertainment value for a low cost. Active Neurons is a block pushing puzzle game done right and doesn’t overstay its welcome. The simple presentation is very approachable and anyone can play it, enjoy it, and recommend it. […]
ZHED is labeled as a chill puzzler as there are no time limits, no score, and no gimmicks. The soundtrack is also laid back, gameplay is very simple, and the presentation is minimalistic. Be warned, despite the casual appearance ZHED features some dastard puzzles that could have you pulling out your hair. The goal is […]
Don’t be confused by the promo image. In Other Waters is a text-based narrative adventure game without any graphics or cool underwater worlds to explore. Here, the player controls an AI and is tasked with helping a diver navigate an alien world while looking for a partner. Going to be totally honest here but I […]
Fury Unleashed has been in development for over five years and the final product speaks to the long development cycle. This 2D side-scrolling action rogue platformer is always tough but fair and will keep you coming back for more. Roguelikes are a dime a dozen these days but Fury Unleashed gets it right. Each encounter […]
